The Navigator Behind LifeChange Compass
Certified Dementia Education Specialist. Founder. Advocate for families making the hardest decision of their lives.
Ashley Braden
Founder & Care Navigator
Certified Dementia Education Specialist (BC-DEd)Every Journey Needs a Navigator
I started LifeChange Compass because I watched families I love struggle to find good information at the worst possible time — in crisis, exhausted, and unsure who to trust. Senior care shouldn't feel like a maze you navigate alone.
As a Certified Dementia Education Specialist (BC-DEd) through the National Institute of Dementia Education, I bring both training and lived compassion to every family I work with. My promise is simple: I treat your parent like my own.
Guided by Heart, Backed by Expertise
Compassion First
I meet every family without judgment, wherever they are in the process — even the earliest, hardest questions.
Certified Expertise
Ongoing dementia education and training inform every recommendation I make, not guesswork.
Your Advocate, Not a Salesperson
My loyalty is to your family, never to any single facility. I recommend what's genuinely right for you.
My Motivation
Every family that walks through this door is navigating one of life's most emotional transitions. I've seen how the right guidance — delivered with patience and honesty — can turn fear into confidence.
Whether you're just starting to ask questions or facing an urgent decision, I'm here to walk beside you, not hand you a list of phone numbers and wish you luck.
Navigate with confidence.
Let's talk about your family's needs.
